The Italian Space Agency (ASI) and the Italian National Institute for Astrophysics (INAF) funded a project to design and develop an archive prototype for the ASI SPace weather InfraStructure (ASPIS). The project, CAESAR (Comprehensive Space Weather Studies for the ASPIS Prototype Realization) created a prototype aiming at unifying multiple Space Weather (SWE) resources through a flexible and adaptable architecture, allowing scientists to adopt an integrated approach, encompassing the whole chain of phenomena from the Sun to the Earth up to planetary environments. In this contribution we present various aspects and stages of the CAESAR project from its design phase to the final prototype. The definition of a template (metadata schema) to collect metadata or the resources (products) contributed to the prototype and management. The management of those same metadata documents through the development of a dedicated tool (ProSpecT, Product Specification Template, using JSON and JSONForms). The challenges in keeping it updated while helping the research community in providing both data and data description. The definition of a set of constraints to handle datasets and their metadata in a homogenized way (as much as possible), identifying potential common data formats and reference frames to follow a chain of phenomena from the Sun to the interplanetary medium up to Earth or planetary surfaces. The actual design and implementation of the prototype archive, its ingestion system and API considerations. The design and development of a web base graphical user interface to enable science research on top of the prototype archive, as well as the development of a dedicated python module (ASPISpy) for advanced data investigation and easier integration with other community drive software. The automation of documentation of the contributed resources (data collections, software tools, modules) from the machine-readable templated documents. All of the above aspects will be presented, highlighting challenges and specific solutions, as well as potential future evolution of the prototype into the actual archive infrastructure for ASPIS.

Heat rejecter (HR) is a critical component of large aperture solar telescopes. It has the double task of acting as a Field Stop, to select the solar region to be studied, and as a heat rejecter to reduce the thermal load in the subsequent optics and keep the temperature of all internal surfaces within a few degrees of the ambient temperature. This last request is necessary to avoid the onset of internal convective air plumes and the subsequent generation of internal seeing. Since the thermal flux at the primary focus of a 4-m class telescope, as the European Solar Telescope (EST), is expected to be of the order of several MW=m², even considering high HR reflectivity, the residual thermal load is conceivably high and a suitable Cooling Systems must be considered. Among the available cooling techniques, the most promising, and already applied in critical conditions such as for nuclear fusion reactor divertor, is the Multiple Jet Impingement (MJI) techniques. To fulfill the technological challenge of the HR for the next generation 4-m class European Solar Telescope (EST), a new prototype for the 1.5 meters GREGOR solar telescope has been developed as technological proof of concept. With the aim of testing this technique, a prototype of HR was realized to be mounted at the 1.5 meters GREGOR solar telescope at the at the Teide Observatory (Canary Islands, Spain). We present the HR thermal-hydraulic design based on the expected thermal load on the GREGOR primary focal plane (⋍ 1500W) and the constraints on the HR temperature. The MJI technology consists in a series of nozzles impinging the liquid coolant on the backside of the field stop hot wall. The high cooling capabilities of MJI relies on the high Reynolds numbers achievable, even with modest velocity flow. In this work we describe our efforts to design, fabricate and test the prototype of an HR to characterize the MJI technology. More in detail, we show the results of the hydraulic and thermal tests carried out in the opto-electronics laboratory of the Physics Department of the University of Rome Tor Vergata.
